To solve this, we have to first write an algebraic equation.
if the question asks you A is what percent of B, it also means that B x what percent equals to A.
Let the missing percentage be y.
60 x y = 25.5
isolate y by shifting "multiply60" to the other side and turn it into a division. Divide 25.5 by 60.
y = 25.5 / 60
y = 0.425
To turn a decimal into a percentage, we can multiply the number by 100%, which is also moving the decimal point 2 units to the right and adding a percentage sign.
0.425 = 42.5%
therefore, the answer should be 42.5%.
